Primary | Computing
The National Curriculum for Computing in Years 1 and 2 (Key Stage 1)
Pupils should be taught to:
Co2/1.1 understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices;
and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
Co2/1.2 create and debug simple programs
Co2/1.3 use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
Co2/1.4 use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content
Co2/1.5 recognise common uses of information technology beyond school
Co2/1.6 use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private;
identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about material on the internet or other online technologies
The National Curriculum for Computing in Years 3 to 6 (Key Stage 2)
Pupils should be taught to:
Co2/1.1 design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling
or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
Co2/1.2 use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
Co2/1.3 use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work
and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
Co2/1.4 understand computer networks including the internet; how they can provide multiple services,
such as the world-wide web; and the opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration
Co2/1.5 use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are selected and ranked,
and be discerning in evaluating digital content
Co2/1.6 select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services)
on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals,
including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
Co2/1.7 use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour;
identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact
